Saturday, July 18 recap — ten goals, a Saka hat-trick and Deschamps' farewell defeat

The third-place play-off turned into pure madness: France 4-6 England, the highest-scoring World Cup match since 1982. Trailing 0-4 at the break after a first half Didier Deschamps himself called 'disgraceful', France woke up far too late. Bukayo Saka, benched all tournament, walked away with a hat-trick. England finish 3rd, their best World Cup since 1966; Deschamps leaves his post on a loss.

Wednesday, July 15 recap — England sit on their lead, Argentina punish them at 90+2

The second semi-final turned in eighteen minutes. Ahead through Anthony Gordon (55'), England dropped deep after Thomas Tuchel's change on 72' and never touched the ball in Argentina's box again. Enzo Fernández equalised from distance (85'), then Lionel Messi hung a cross on Lautaro Martínez's head at 90+2 (2-1). Saka, Eze and Madueke never left the bench. It's Spain-Argentina on Sunday in New York.
